Nylon Shift boot for bottom of shifter?

Where do I get the nylon boot for the bottom of the shifter? I called Mazda and local trans shops and nothing. Is there a more common car that the piece is found on?

There are 3 "inner boots" as MAzda calls them, for the base of the shifter. Mazdatrix sells the set for about $40.

Unless...You meant the boot that's immediately below the shifter, inside the car? I bought a really nice leather one on eBay. Search eBay under "Mazda RX7." She sells them there regularly. Mine was $25.

There are rubber boots on the lever shaft, and nylon bushings to center the pivot ball.
Here is a clip from the FSM:

Whether you are talking about the shifter boot, or the bushings, they are both on that page.
